    IF it's 'never ending' , There's no rush to do anything, either. Risks are involved. A 'Fit of pique' may result, or at the other extreme, you might get hooked for eternity. Nev

    A full motion simulator will cost 1,000 's of dollars/hr of operations. It's designed to do emergency Procedures where doing it in a Plane used to get People killed. You need to be securely strapped in or you can get injuries. Its for ONE type of Plane ONLY IF it's Part of a Conversion to a type process.. There's usually about 6 sessions of four Hours Plus One 4 Hour test all as a crew. After that you jump in the real thing and fly it.. Google Map can help you plan a flight to places you are not familiar with.. You are in the Hands of your Instructor so to speak. Work with Him/Her. Nev

    I don't seem to be able to enlarge that plus the Maker of the Best brand stated only OK to just over 13000 feet. I used to regularly go to Lae from Moresby at FL180 unpressurised. You need to know what you are doing. Quite a few People have come to grief.. It had a mask with a diluter demand system, including a Microphone. Nev

    They certainly need to be kept away from. Nev

    More speed more floating ,shallower approach. Flaps are put there for Landing. Gives better view over the Nose. Slippery planes need flaps more. It's 120 Kts Cruise. Nev
  6. facthunter
    They CAN float a fair way IF your approach is fast and the idle speed is a bit high. React early if runway length is limited. In gusty conditions active throttle is the Only way to touch down precisely where you want to. and if you're TOO slow hit that throttle. It's also normal to not have quite enough back trim when you start the flare so be aware of that . I Like the J 230. They are not a bad thing. Nev

    I've also just spent 40 Minutes looking for Oxygen info on the CASA site you listyed and much more,. so perhaps you could give more precise information just where it is? Nev
  8. facthunter
    No, Unless you are much too fast leave it till the wheels are about to touch. If you keep things the same. Power and attitude the plane will continue to do what it is already doing and you aren't watching Airspeed as you flare but there can be some windshear AND higher temps over the runway. Even with a highwing there is still ground effect which can help you in critical situations where your speed is slow. Do not EVER land on the Nosewheel and if you aren't happy on the Approach, Go around with carb heat off. Check every time. Nev

    Where's the" Misinformation" in my Post.? Nev
  10. facthunter
    I "converted" a couple of owners of "heavier" VH planes to the J 230 and they found them a bit challenging initially. A powered approach is normal. It's a matter of putting in the effort, and responding to what the plane is doing in the flare. Not doing it by numbers. It's more of a "Milk the Mouse" thing. to be on the ball. Nev

    For flight crew? My info was the limit pressure height was 13300 limited by compressor efficiency. (Supplied from the Makers data). I suppose You Tube knows best. That fellow was talking a lot of bunkum. Nothing beats Proper expensive and approved by the Authority, training. You can't "feel" you are getting hypoxia. You actually feel everything is fine, as your performance drops right off. Nev

    He managed to make Q link do an orbit. Nev
  13. facthunter
    General max pressure height was 10.000 ft.Absolute Max alt was 13300 feet on anything I could find. Compressor function is reduced with height The usual aircraft CREW equip't is a Mask with Diluter demand function.. They don't ever use the Little tubes up your nostrils in A/C. oxygen supply. Some Planes used chemical generators for emergencies. . Nev

    One of the best coverages that I've seen.. In my Airline training we had to go in a Baro chamber. You can't write. your nails go blue and you talk stupid, but think you are OK. Nev.

    Just keep the weight off the Nosewheel. Even a higher than normal engine idle speed will Make a J 230 float. You don't want to use up extra runway. Maybe your flare height is a bit low. Do some slow speed flying at Height to get a better feel how it feels when slow. It's a Plane that needs to be flown very precisely but will handle gusts etc well when you are used to it.. Again, Keep the weight off the Nosewheel especially on take offs. Fly accurate airspeeds. Allow a bit more when you are Heavy, or it's Gusty. Nev

    Get a decent airstrip first.. Nev

    It's not piston compression used to Push the Oil up the return Pipe. It's what gas leaks past the Piston rings that Pushes it back to the Oil tank and all gasses pass through to the Breather pipe on the side of the Tank. High rate out of there means more blowby. Also if you use a larger dia return pipe Gas will pass the Oil up one side and the oil won't go through the Pipe as intended. . Nev

    It's stall speed is 64 Kt.s Not that fast. Nev

    Don't chuck the Motor. It has Historical Interest. I might be able to swap you something for it? Nev

    IF you don't understand what I'm saying I will answer any questions. But Maybe not tonight. Late for dinner is not tolerated here. Nev

    A "taildown " wheeler is more difficult to"Pin" the aircraft on the ground. Apparently it has a brake similar to a chipmunk (but Mechanical) where it's pulled on by hand. Maybe it jammed on. (Ratchet pulled too Hard) When you're slow. the elevators don't do much to stop a Plane tipping. The Main directional control is achieved by the steerable Tailwheel with the stick held right Back in the Landing roll to keep the wheel in constant contact with the surface. Nev
  22. facthunter
    The amount of blowby past the rings is the MAIN Factor. New engines have to be turned over slower to get the Oil to Burp. You can feel that when you pull the prop through.. Nev
  23. facthunter
    They all obey the same laws Of Physics. Forward vision on that is restricted and I guess you don't get a lot of time to spend practicing in something that rare. Nev
  24. facthunter
    Too much brake Applied and tail wheel on the ground bit soon as well causing it to get airborne, Nev

    No SEX please. We're British.. Nev
